DCB provides a guaranteed bandwidth in the case with 0%
bandwidth then no bandwidth is guaranteed. However the
traffic class should still be able to transmit traffic.
For this to work the traffic class must be given the
minimum credits required to send a frame.

<title>ixgbe: IEEE 802.1Qaz, implement priority assignment table</title>

<id>17049d30c2dec6f26d6165cc135578f9e41d53d3</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch adds support to use the priority assignment
table in the ieee_ets structure to map priorities to
traffic classes. Previously ixgbe only supported a
1:1 mapping. Now we can enable and disable hardware
DCB support when multiple traffic classes are actually
being used. This allows the default case all priorities
mapped to traffic class 0 to work in normal hardware
mode and utilize the full packet buffer.

This patch does not address putting the hardware in
4TC mode so packet buffer space may be underutilized
in this case. A follow up patch can address this
optimization. But at least we have the hooks to do
this now.

Also CEE will behave as it always has and map priorities
1:1 with traffic classes.

    ixgbe: DCB, abstract out dcb_config from DCB hardware configuration

However the case when CEE link strict and group strict
are set was missed and are currently being mapped
incorrectly in some configurations.

This patch resolves this.

<content type='text'>
Currently the routines that configure the HW for DCB require a
ixgbe_dcb_config structure. This structure was designed to support
the CEE standard and does not match the IEEE standard well.

This patch changes the HW routines in ixgbe_dcb_8259x.{ch} to use
raw pfc and bandwidth values. This requires some parsing of the DCB
configuration but makes the HW routines independent of the data
structure that contains the DCB configuration.

The primary advantage to doing this is we can do HW setup directly
from the 802.1Qaz ops without having to arbitrarily encapsulate this
data into the CEE structure.

The DCB credits refill quantum _must_ be greater than half the max
packet size. This is needed to guarantee that TX DMA operations
are not attempted during a pause state. Additionally, the min IFG
must be set correctly for DCB mode. If a DMA operation is
requested unexpectedly during the pause state the HW data
store may be corrupted leading to a DMA hang.  The DMA hang
requires a reset to correct. This fixes the HW configuration
to avoid this condition.
